BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-01-20 14:00:00	Follow-up please on Salvador Perez: If you really believe he can be that good - and yeah, that's one hell of a player for a catcher - why did nobody ever rate him highly as a prospect? Isn't a C prospect that good a top 100 guy? (Chris from KC)	Well, the big step in offense came in 2011, and now he's not a prospect anymore, so it's more of a timing thing than anything else. (Kevin Goldstein)
2012-01-24 13:00:00	Who do you like better as a long term C - Wilin Rosario or Salvador Perez? (Chad from Fantasyland)	In fantasyland, I'll take Rosario. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-10 13:00:00	Ramon Hernandez or Salvador Perez this seaon (Matt S. from NYC)	Hernandez. Power upside is greater, can still hit for some average too. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-10 13:00:00	Is keeping Salvador Perez for $5 at C worth pluging Carlos Santana in at 1B? (jaymoff from Salem, OR)	Same as Kendrick -- you're best dealing one of them. If you only have one catcher spot, then keep Santana and let Perez go. (Derek Carty)
2011-06-17 13:00:00	Loved your piece on catching prospects in the minors. Who does Salvador Perez compare closest to out of those profiled? Would you liken him to Bethancourt in that he is young for his league, great defensive potential, free swinger, etc? Or does Bethancourt's power potential put him in a different class? (Matt from Fayetteville)	Thanks. Perez has potential, but his bat doesn't look so hot right now. He can stick behind the plate, as his glove/arm are solid. He's not really like Bethancourt. Perez can be a good defender. Bethancourt could be an elite defender. (Jason Parks)
